Quick Overview

The Standard of Excellence (Enhanced) Comprehensive Band Method Books 1 and 2 combine a strong performance-centered approach with music theory, music history, ear training, listening composition, improvisation, and interdisciplinary and multicultural studies. The result is the most complete band method available anywhere.

Complete with 2 CDs

Each enhanced book includes two CDs which contain accompaniment recordings for each lesson.

The second CD also contains iPAS- Interactive Pyware Assessment Software - which, when installed on a computer, gives students the opportunity to play along with the accompaniment recordings and have their performances graded and recorded.

Students will then know their strengths and weaknesses as they progress through each new skill introduced in the lesson book.
